The Data Explorer supports progress tracking, reporting, and hypothesis testing to facilitate decision making related to the Cambodian Government’s 2023 Pentagonal Strategy’s goals, including modernization, increasing productivity in priority crops and domestic livestock, strengthening extension services, and increasing agricultural products processing industries, furthering implementation of the National Agricultural Development Policy and Cambodia Agro-Industrial Development Strategic Plan, which aim to increase domestic commercial livestock production and the domestic agricultural products processing industries.

In collaboration with app maintainers, the users are able to view, analyze, and create figures related to household production of crops and livestock that can be used to understand trends in small-scale producer contributions to national supply and the economic conditions small-scale producers face. Variables in the survey are grouped according to policy themes for ease of navigation.

Value Addition to the Data Analysis Process

The 50x30 Cambodia Data Explorer bridges the gap between survey data collection and policy decisionmaking. It provides the opportunity to combine knowledge from scholarly research in agricultural policy with observed trends in variables collected in the field. These trends can inform progress toward established goals or aid in the formation of new programs. The results of those policies become visible in new data collection, which is added through updates.
